Yes I know that this chapter probably belongs with the last one…but
hey…I had writers block…and I wanted to get it uploaded as soon as
possible. So don't flame me. Most of this chapter is from movie verse, and
the reason why I didn't upload this is because I couldn't remember
Aragorn's line…as I haven't seen LOTR in about a month. glares at parents
They say I'm obsessed. I wonder where they got that idea. Anyway…so if I
didn't get that line right don't flame me…just tell me what it really
was…so I won't go insane. Thanks! Elvish speech is in ' ', and thoughts are
in . Enjoy!

I gaped at Legolas as he sat down, a slight smile playing about his features. Why? I asked myself, staring at the beautiful creature that defended me, and my pride. Yet he was same person who shunned me last night. It didn't make any sense to me. Either he wanted me or he didn't, there was no in between. I decided to confront him about it later, but still it was the only thing I could think about. What am I going to say? I wondered, but once again another voice knocked me out of my fantasy world, in which only Legolas and I existed.
"I will take the ring," Frodo loudly, "though I do not know the way."
The circle went silent, as we all turned to stare at the halfling. Smiling Legolas stood and said, "You have my bow."
"And my ax,' said Gloin's son Gimli.
Not even thinking I stood up and said, "By my life I will protect you," I moved next to Legolas who scowled at me. Soon all nine of us, Gandalf, Frodo, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, Sam, Legolas and I, representing all the free peoples of Middle Earth faced Elrond, who sighed.
'Let it be so then. You shall go.' This comment was directed at the hobbit Pippin. 'Now the tale of the nine is filled. In seven days the Company must depart.'
The others nodded, bowed to Lord Elrond. I however just stood there a dazed look upon my face. I was going to Mordor! This thought would have scared many to death. But as long as I had Legolas nearby I knew that everything would be alright.
